TITLE: Reuse of Existing City Hall Property (PA2012 -176) Request for Qualifications No. 13 -16 3300 Newport Boulevard & 475 32nd Street ABSTRACT: On October 10, 2012, the City issued Request for Qualifications ( "RFQ ") No. 13 -16 for the existing City Hall property located in Lido Village. In response to the RFQ, the City received a total of 15 Statements of Qualifications for the development of either a boutique hotel or residential and commercial mixed -use project. The Ad Hoc Revitalization Committee and staff are recommending that a select number of the RFQ respondents be invited to participate in the next step of the process, which is to prepare a development proposal. RECOMMENDATION: Direct staff to prepare a Request for Proposals for either a residential /commercial mixed -use project or hotel project and invite the following entities to submit a proposal: BOUTIQUE HOTEL CONCEPT Pacific Hospitality Group RD Olson Development Sonnenblick Development Company RESIDENTIAL MIXED -USE CONCEPT AMLI Residential Partners Archstone The Shopoff Group 1 Reuse of Existing City Hall Property RFQ January 8, 2013 Page 2 DISCUSSION: The City received 15 Statements of Qualifications in response to the RFQ that was issued on October 10, 2012. The RFQ indicated that the City of Newport Beach was interested in a mixed -use development composed of either a residential /commercial project or a hotel project on the 4 -acre City Hall site. Either project would be required to reflect the community's very high standards for design quality, aesthetics, and amenities and expectations to serve as a significant catalyst to the revitalization of the overall Lido Village area. The responders did indicate whether they were interested in either a hotel or residential mixed -use project or both, and there was strong representation in both development categories. A list of the responders is contained in Attachment CC -1 and the submittals may be reviewed at the following webpage. http://www.newportbeachca.gov/index.aspx?page=1 347. The Ad -Hoc Neighborhood Revitalization Committee ( "Committee ") and staff evaluated each submittal in terms of its responsiveness to the RFQ, the overall qualifications and relevant project experience of the development team, demonstration of experience with ground -lease projects, and overall financial capabilities. At the completion of the review, the Committee and staff selected the three top responders for each of the two development scenarios. The Committee and staff believe that given the very strong interest and qualification statements for both development concepts, it is premature for City Council to select a preferred land use at this time. Therefore, it is recommended that Council direct staff to prepare a Request for Proposals and invite the following entities to respond: BOUTIQUE HOTEL CONCEPT Pacific Hospitality Group RD Olson Development Sonnenblick Development Company RESIDENTIAL MIXED -USE CONCEPT AMLI Residential Partners Archstone The Shopoff Group Staff expects to issue the RFP at the end of January with responses due back within 60- 90 days. Staff believes that RFP process will provide sufficient information to the City Council and community for selecting a preferred development concept and corresponding development team. The proposed amendments to the City's General Plan, Coastal Land Use Plan, and Zoning Ordinance for the City Hall property are scheduled for Planning Commission consideration on January 17, 2013. 2 Reuse of Existing City Hall Property RFQ January 8, 2013 Page 3 FUNDING REQUIREMENTS: There is no fiscal impact related to this item. Should staff require additional technical consulting assistance to evaluate proposals received, staff will identify funding needs as necessary and request a budget amendment if funds within the current budget are not available. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW: The preparation and issuance of a Request for Proposals is not subject to the California Environmental Quality Act ( "CEQA ") pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment) and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly. Future decisions to authorize redevelopment of the property including the pending proposed amendments to the City's General Plan, Coastal Land Use Plan, and Zoning Ordinance are subject to CEQA and will undergo environmental review prior to completion. The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).
